Jalapeno Cheddar loaf! I’m working on the lamination technique to get the inclusions spread about a bit more evenly.

More work on the bathroom. I got up early and got in the attic and got the old wires pulled, and more new wire run, as well as the network cable.
A view of the existing bathroom fan that is/was venting to the attic. The yellow wire is the new wire for the bathroom.
End of the pool :-(

Randal helps to prepare French Toast for breakfast! both he and Garrett are big into helping cook. The big three also can cook, at varying levels. Evan is always fond of whipping himself up some pancakes for breakfast, too.
A lazy Sunday!

A couple of videos for today. We start with goat shenanigans of a seemingly stuck Zanzi.

Checking on the crumb of my jalapeno cheddar loaf. I see that the inclusions were all grouped toward one end, which looks to me to be an artifact of my shaping process. So, I will adjust that the next time!.
More goat shelter, bread, and dinner!

In all its glory, here is a completed goat shelter! I had dragged it over in a rush yesterday afternoon as a storm was rolling through. The goats in this pen were already moved to a sheltered spot, so much ado about nothing. Anywho, it was staged and ready for use the next day!

Checking on the remaining mama turkey. She has taken up residence behind our A/C compressor. I’ve been checking on her the past few days. I haven’t seen any eggs hatch, a couple have popped (gone bad). And at this point, I’m not confident any of these eggs are viable any longer.
Bread! and a dead microwave!

The loaves from yesterday’s post all done! I have two basic sourdough loaves, one jalapeno cheddar, and a sourdough rye loaf.
